Last Thursday i paid the MCC/MFC dual Membership for next year.
It’s not cheap and with all the madness circling at the moment, i certainly thought about it for a while, but i pressed the “Pay Now” Button as i always do. $1,114.00

I am just wondering who else on here has done the same, are Members going to stick by us next year or will they keep the wallet closed 

Roffey didn’t inspire me at all during the week, i heard the spiel live on air and once again later. Very underwhelming 

The next 2-3 weeks are going to be pivotal for the club i believe. I hope the Members stick together (with a caveat!)

    Anyone not renewing because they’re unhappy with board or management or a particular player is weak as [censored]. 

    Financial reasons I can understand (although I would suggest downgrading to cheaper options rather than cancelling) but punishing the club as a [censored] protest against any individual(s) is childish and self-defeating.

    I’m weighing it up at the moment. Financially we are cash strapped, being in NSW means the likelihood of actually being able to attend games is not great, and lastly, my health has me in a position where, frankly, I may not last a full season let alone be in a state to get to games.

    Is this the first time you have dropped the Club?

    Sometimes it can be a great catalyst for change 

    If all this was happening to a rival club, we would all be laughing and celebrating their incompetence.

    Write them an email, send them a lette, start a petition, mount a board challenge (just don’t take the club to court ffs). Do what you like but costing the club financially is counterproductive and will not result in greater success in any way.

    Yes. So what? Should I laugh and celebrate my own clubs troubles?

    No of course not. I just hope the Club now understand the damage they have caused.

    Best of luck HT. As I said above I don’t begrudge anyone who has to make choices to balance the books. No shame in downgrading to an armchair/3-game membership either though if you can stretch things to that.

    I’m certain they know things aren’t great. But every member we get proves our value to sponsors, and provides weight when talking to the afl about fixturing and all other matters. 

    Missing finals will already have an impact but those of us than can afford to stick fat should do so for the longer term good of the club.

    Keep up the good fight mate...my thoughts are with you.

    I agree.
    But the Club has got to run itself properly.

    I don’t think it has done that at all well for at least 2 years

    6 of our original 7 are keeping our premium memberships, unfortunately 1 has fallen out of love with AFL/ Umpiring/ Press and to an extent our club over the past two years.

    Not going to leap to their defence, but I’d suggest if you want to give them a piece of your mind get down to the AGM and give em hell.
     

    Cancelling the membership is a very indirect and ineffective way to communicate a specific grievance with how the club is run but very effective at harming the club.

    I’ve paid up, so that is not the issue

    At the moment I’m considering renewing just my son’s membership. At least we’ll still be supporting the club financially and I’m a rusted on supporter regardless.

    This year I had to cancel due to financial struggles.

    Next year I am returning on a 3 game membership because finances are still not that great.

    Hoping by 2026 I can return to my red legs reserved seat membership.

    Don't hurt the club. Call out those individuals that are hurting the club.

    My love for the club took a massive hit after 4 straight finals losses at the MCG after watching a premiership under house arrest following decades of pain.

    I haven't given up on the club but what has transpired over the past 12 months has seen me fall out of love with the Melbourne Football Club. You simply can't defend the club anymore. Last year's Semi final broke me and this year has angered me.

    I will wait to see what happens with Petracca and over trade period before I make a decision. Not sure I could forgive the club for how this has all unravelled. We all deserve much better.

    As it stands however I am more likely than not looking at suspending my membership for a year.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
